When I head down to Belize I want to have some tarpon patterns. I had the Black Death recommended and looked at how to tie one and saw that a dubbing loop was required. Somehow, I've managed to be tying for about a decade now and never needed a dubbing loop.

Does anyone either have a place I can get some advice on doing a dubbing loop or some non-dubbing loop tarpon patterns that I can tie up?

When you are tying #16 bead head PT's, you don't really need the kind of skill you need for those big ole' tarpon flies, as it turns out.
